Let Amanda's age = x.
Gregory's age = x + 5.

Since Gregory is 17 years old.
17 = x + 5
x = 17 - 5
x = 12

Amanda is 12 years old.

larisa [96]

Answer:

Area of the reduced pentagon is $30\ inch^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given scale factor is $0.5$ . And area of pentagon is $120\ inch^2$ .

The relation between area and scale factor is.

$New\ area=Old\ area\times (Scale\ factor)^2$

Here, old area is given as $120\ inch^2$ and scale factor is $0.5$ .

So, reduced area of pentagon would be

$=120\times(0.5)^2\\=120\times0.25\\=30\ inch^2$

The area of the reduced pentagon is $30\ inch^2$

Find k so that the following function is continuous on any interval: . . f(x)=kx if 0<=x<3 and f(x)=8x^2 if 3<=x. . K=?

Tasya [4]

In finding the value of this inequality first is to substitute the X to the F(x) so that it would be rearrange to get the value of k. So if 3<=x, K is directly proportional to X so it means that K >=3
